Who is Imam Ali Ibn al Hussain ( PBUH )

💢Who is Ali Ibn Al_Hussein

🔰The 4th Imam after Imam Hussain(a.s.) was his son Imam Ali Zain-al-Abideen(a.s.). His mother was Bibi Shahar Bano who was a princess from Persia, the daughter of the Kind Yazd Gard II.

His title Zain-al-Abideen was granted to him by the Holy Prophet(pbuh&hf). Imam Sajjad(a.s.) was married to the Bibi Fatima(a.s.) – daughter of Imam Hasan(a.s.).

Imam Hasan(a.s.) was martyred in 50 A.H. and the Imamate of Imam Hussain(a.s.) started which terminated on 10th Moharram 61 A.H. from where the Imamate of Imam Sajjad(a.s.) began.

🔘Imam(a.s.) kept his life very personal and preferred to stay in a town close to Madina from where he would preach the true religion of Allah(swt) quietly and with character.

🔆His character and preaching inspired a large number of people specially in the vicinity of Madina and Makkah.

📛Slowly the tyrrant rulers of his time began to realize the dangers that they faced from the Imam(a.s.)’s preaching and character.

⚫️Amid this growing threat, Walid decided to poison and kill the Imam and finally he succeeded in his ulterior motives and Imam Sajjad(a.s.) was poisoned by the governor of Madina and martyred on 25th Moharram 95 A.H. (713 A.D.).😭

Imam al-Sajjad (‘a) had to play a very important role as a witness and narrator of the events that took place at Karbala and to inherit the Allah decreed role of the Fourth Imam on his (‘a) fathers (‘a) martyrdom as well as the Father to the next Holy Imam. Even though Allah (swt) decreed that the Imam (‘a) would have to be very ill at this particular time, Imam al-Sajjad (‘a) had remarkably clear recollection of events leading up to Ashura, during the Martyrdom of his family (‘a) and afterwards, as he was able to narrate these in great detail.

Imam al-Sajjad (‘a) then lived for another 34 years after his (‘a) father’s (‘a) martyrdom in which he was the guide and role model of the people in his sensitive but powerful demonstration and practice of the pure religion of Islam.
